Seals in Sheepshead Bay
Last year's "unheard of" seal sighting at the dock of the Miramar Yacht Club in Sheepshead Bay was followed by another sighting in March of 2011 at Brighton Beach. Now, a Rockaway cruise vessel is giving seal watching tours where you can see dozens of seals.
This seems like unexpectedly good environmental news, in that there has been a huge leap in the population of harbor seals on the East Coast over the past 5 years.

Now, work on the shipping/boat traffic and you'll probably see cetaceans making a come back as well.
